A/N: I'm soooo sorry that I haven't updated in a long time and that the previous chapter was messed up.

Originally I meant for this to be a one shot but due to 'overwhelming' responses, ("I know that you can be underwhelmed and overwhelmed, but can you just be...whelmed?"-10 Things I Hate About You.) I'll go on and do a few stages of Estel's life. I know that neither he nor Legolas would, probably, never allow themselves to become intoxicated but this is the result of a tech.' college representative doing a sales pitch in my English class. By the way, this is set roughly around seventeen years after the first chapter.

Disclosure: I don't hold any claims to Lord of the Rings or 10 Things I hate About You. (Sticks tongue out at money-hungry lawyers.)

The Mirkwood forest loomed over the two companions; strong sentinels that quivered in a hushed language.

Estel laughed and took another drink from the skin. "All right, Legolas. You're (hick) next!"

"Enlighten me upon what task I must now perform, my ranger friend."

The human smiled, he had never lost a drinking game and he had yet to see anyone out-drink himself.

"Wiggle your ears."

The son of Thranduile(A/N: I think that's spelled right.) blinked in astonishment. "I (hick) beg your pardon?"

"I set upon you the effort of wiggling your ears! 'Else you want to take another draught."

Legolas frowned with concentration; after a while he shook his head, defeated. "Pass me that skin, ranger."

Estel leaned forward to give the elf the drinking skin but he was so drunk that he fell into the mud, laughing.

Legolas grinned in amusement and started to pull his newly made friend up when he saw his father, Thranduile, the king of Mirkwood. He did not look pleased.

"Ada!"

Estel turned around and cocked an eyebrow, "Can you not wiggle your ears either?"

A/N: Hahahaha!

I am the strange vampire tiger! I wish upon ALL who reviewed their choice of a male elf and rum. If ye' be the male gender...well, (tosses many sports cars and cloned Lara Crofts) hope that I appeased everyone.
